Yes. I think the stretching exercises have caused more microtears in the fascia as pain has increased 10 fold since starting exercises. I am doing a lot of icing, resting, and wearing the splint. I have inserts but have found Birkenstocks give the most relief. So far 2 different podiatrists have not done much. Both say it…

Thanks. I had 2 cortisone shots a month apart. Unfortunately did not help at all. Caused cortisone flare. Pain was intense. Lasted 3 days.

I thought everyone was crazy when I was told I would be lucky if I could do 5 minutes when I first started to use mine. My experience was the same as yours: 3 minutes and I thought I was going to die. That was 6 mos ago. Now I do 30-60 minutes at a time and work up a sweat. I love/hate my helliptical. Keep at it. You can…

Thank you so much. I don't know why it came up sideways before but just doing as you suggested fixed it--at least on my Home page and Profile. I don't know why it hasn't changed here. Used to be once you changed your primary picture it changed everywhere but maybe since the Forums have been changed this doesn't happen any…

Sorry some of you are reading challenged. If the topic is of interest to you I imagine you will manage to read it. If you aren't interested enough to read in spite of length and that I did not paragraph the material, then don't read it. I am not interested in a lesson in writing or your b****ing. Read or don't. Your…

Sorry it is so long. I would edit but there is no edit "button" so I guess I can't.

An update: Vivosmart has a move bar to encourage you to, well, move. The band vibrates if you have been inactive for over an hour. So I decided I would really push myself to get more steps in. So band vibrated and said "move" so I got up and walked 500 steps. Yes, I counted. Then I checked my band to see new total (I had…

puppy pen will work. what kind of pup? I raised (bred and showed) English Bulldogs for 20myears so have a lot of experience with puppies.

Between the ages of 4-6 months puppies teeth--lose their baby teeth and get their adult teeth. They want to chew and bite on everything. When home, distracting works well. You can also hold his mouth closed, tell him no, and then give him a suitable toy to chew. However if left alone nothing is safe--furniture, shoes,…

What is analog versus digital?

Jawbone, like the Fitbit Flex, are both great devices but I want a readout on the device so I don't have to use my phone or PC to see the numbers.

I have the Link and have been wearing it for 1 1/2 years but tired of paying for the Activity Manager each month and the bulkiness of the armband.

Here is some additional information on the Samsung Gear Fit-- Samsung official video (Gear 2 is first; I am getting the Gear Fit) https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile I am not sure if this only works with the Samsung line up of phones or any android phone. Here is a review…

I use Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, Smart Ones as a basis. For most of the dinners I add 4-6 oz cooked chicken or turkey breast. I add extra veggies to the salads and extra chicken. If you find you are consistently using Lean Cuisines be sure to sign up for their Delicious Rewards program. I've gotten some nice free items.

Can you get the BodymediaFit website on your computer? http://www.bodymedia.com/the_interface.html

I have been using Bodymediafit link since Jan. and love it. Looking forward to buying the new core II when it comes out (like the smaller size and the optional heart rate monitor) add me as a friend if you'd like.

I make my husband take his snacks and sit away from me--far away.

will the recipe turn out ok if you replace the whole eggs with eggbeaters ( or eggwhites only)?

Turned 64 in June. Started weight loss 3/26/2012. Highest weight 310, now 184 (stuck/plateau?) goal 130 by 65. Add me as friend if you'd like.

I use one packet CL in 40 oz of water. Our water even filtered has a strong chemical taste and can't afford 4-6 bottled waters/day. This makes our water drinkable.

Welcome. I am 64 and have lost 100+ pounds. You can do this. Add me as friend if you'd like.

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation (itis means inflammation) After trying just about everything already suggested I started taking high doses of Ibuprofen 24/7 for several months. (I had first tried Ibuprofen for a couple of weeks The pain quickly went away but came back soon after I stopped taking the Ibuprofen so I…

Love Quest. Faves are choc brownie, choc chip cookie dough, white choc .raspberry, and coconut cashew altho none are bad. I microwave for 8 secs (longer and they melt onto microwave tray.) I buy from GNC and almost always have a coupon for $10 off if you spend $20 . Last time I also had a 10% off coupon and I could use…

4 MINUTES??!! Was this a typo. Did you mean 4 SECONDS? I warm mine in microwave 7-8 seconds and they are super soft, chewy and starting to stick to the tray. I can't imagine heating for 1 minute much less 4 minutes.

Are you saying that you were ONLY eating Quest bars?? Nothing else? If you were eating other food I don't think you can put the blame totally on the Quest bars. If your diet was 100% Quest bars then perhaps a possibility of them causing an impaction--not a lot of fiber or moisture.

I think measurement--waist, hips, chest/bust are needed,too. A tall woman can weigh 150 and wear a size 10 (just an example) while a short woman weighing 150 might wear a 16.

CONGRATULATIONS. That first glimpse of onederland is so amazing. I know what you mean about fluctuating. Suggestion: don't weigh for a week and give your weight a chance to stabilize and then you won't suffer the frustration of "scale torture".
